GLUE AND MUCILAGE RECEP'I'AOLE.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that we, OSCAR WINKEL- MILLER andEDWARD C. Bmmnns, citizens of the United States, residing at Two Rivers,in the county of Manitowoc and State of Wisconsin, have invented new anduseful Improvements in Glue and Mucilage Receptacles, of which thefollowing is a specification.

Anobject of the invention is to provide a receptacle, particularlyadapted to contain mucilage, a container a retainer for retaining in thecontainer.

For the purpose mentioned, use is made of a receptacle, a distributerfor enga ement with the open end of the receptac e and adapted toconstitute a closure, the said distributer being provided with slots forperthe receptacle withmitting the exit of a fluid in the receptacle,

a container adapted to contain the receptacle and act as a holder andretaining means for releasably retaining the receptacle wit-hin thecontainer.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings constituting a part0t this specification, in which similar characters of reference denotecorresponding parts in all the views, and in which Figure 1 is aperspective view showing the receptacle partially withdrawn from thecontainer, parts of the container being broken away to disclose theretaining .means. Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal sectional viewshowing the receptacle within the container, with a cover attached tothe container. Fig. 3 is a horizontal transverse sectional view taken onthe line 3 -3 in Fig. 1, looking in the direction of the arrow. Fig. 4is a plan view of the brush body showing the slits therein.

Referring more particularly to the views, we provide a receptacle 10having prefera tubular formation and connected with the open end of thereceptacle 10 to normally close the same is a distributer 11, preferablyconsisting of a flexible rubber hood, the said distributor beingprovided with a plurality of spaced slits 12 adapted to permit the exitof a fluid from the receptacle 10 and a flange 13 formed on thedistributer, the mentioned flange being adapted to receive the upper endof the receptacle 10.

The receptacle 10 is adapted to repose within a container 14 providedwith a cover Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed July 18,1911. Serial No. 689,207.

for the receptacle and Patented Dec. 24,1912.

REISSUI QQ 15 and mounted to encircle the recepta is a circular retainer16, preferably made of rubber or a similar flexible material, the saidretainer being adapted to engage the inner periphery of the container 14when the receptacle is disposed within the container. In the use of ourdevice, the retainer 16 is first mounted to. encircle the receptacle andthe receptacle is then disposed within the container 14 as shown in Fig.2, the ree'eptacle being so positioned in the container 14 that thedistributor 11- will extend a distance be end the upper edge of thecontainer, t e cover 15 being provided to inclose the distributer whenthe same is not in use. Now assuming that the receptacle- 10 is filledwith a mucilage, the slots 12 in the distributer 11 are covered with asealingsubstance such as wax or paraflin and after the receptacle lO'hasbeen positioned in the container 14 as mentioned, the cover 15 isapplied to the container 14 and the device is then read for thecommercial market.

When it is desired to use the mucilage contained in the receptacle 10,the cover 15 is first removed and by exertin a pressure on thedistributer 11 and holding the container 14 so that the distributer willextend downwardl and abut against the article to be glued, t e pressureexerted on the distributer will break the sealing substance, thuspermitting the liquid mucilage to flow outwardly from the receptaclethrough the slits 12, our device being used in a manner similar to thatof an ordinary brush tospread the mucilage over an article upon whichthe same is to be used. When a suflicient quantity of cover 15 isreapplied to the container 14 to inclose the distributer 11 and as willbe readily understood, the slits 12 will soon become sealed, owing to asmall amount of mucilage remaining on the distributor, and which willbecome hard thus sealing the slits 12 in a. manner similar to that ofthe paraflin or wax heretofore mentioned. When it is desired to removethe receptacle 10 from the container 14 for the purpose of heating thereceptacle to, thin the mucilage contained therein, the receptacle 10can 0 easily pulled outwardly from the container 14 although theretainer 16 will normally tend to frictionally retain the receptacle 10within the container 14 and when our device is used in the-mannerdescribed heretofore mucilage has been used, the

posed at relatively right angles. With a construction of this kind, whenpressure is exerted on the distributer thus partially collapsing thesame, the slits 12 will tend to open more easily and thus permit thefluid to flow freely from the receptacle 10.

Having thus fully described the invention, what we claim as new, is

1. As an article of manufacture the combination with a container, of areceptacle 15 adapted to contain a fluid. and removably mounted withinthe container, a retainer mounted to encircle the said receptacle andadapted to engage the container when the receptacle is disposed thereinto frictionally retain the receptacle in engagement with the container,a slotted distributer secured to the open end of the receptacle tonormally close the same and a cover for removable engagement with thecontainer and adapted to inclose the said distributer.

2. In combination, a container, a receptacle adapted to contain a fluidand removably mounted within the container, a retainer mounted toencircle the said receptacle and adapted to engage the container whenthe receptacle is disposed therein to frictionally retain the receptaclein engagement with the container and a flexible distributer mounted toclose the open end of the said receptacle, the said distributer beingprovided with spaced slits disposed at relatively right angles in theupper end of the said distributer.

In testimony whereof we affix our signatures in presence of twowitnesses.
